My puppy had a seizure a few hours ago and I didn't take her to the vet because it stopped but do I need to take her or just give her a lot of water? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 1 day old

I'm sorry Penelope had a seizure! It is important to take her to the vet because seizures can have serious causes. I would take her to a vet as soon as possible. If she seizures again before you can seek vet care: - Don't put your hands near her mouth - Keep some rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle to spray on the pads of the feet for cooling - Monitor Penelope at all times during the seizure to ensure that she cannot hurt herself by crashing into furniture, etc - If the seizure continues for more than 5 minutes, seek emergency care immediately
